What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cardimyxobolus iriomotensis n. sp. (Cnidaria: Myxosporea: Ortholineidae) is described from the gill filaments of Rhinogobius brunneus (type-host) and R. aonumai aonumai (Gobiiformes: Gobiidae) collected from two rivers on Iriomote-jima Island, located in southern Ryukyus, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. This new species represents the second record of the genus Cardimyxobolus in Japan and the fourth species of the genus globally. The plasmodium of the new species is spherical, and its spores are ovate, appearing wider than long in valvular view. The shell valves are smooth, and the pair of pyriform polar capsules are subequal in length, occupying the anterior half of the spore body and containing 3-5 coils of the polar tubule. The foramina of each polar capsule are positioned laterally at approximately one-third of the distance from the anterior end of the spore. Cardimyxobolus iriomotensis n. sp. can be distinguished from its congeners by the following key features: 1) a smooth shell valve, in contrast to the 1-6 V-shaped folds found in C. leshanensis; 2) significantly thinner spores (4.4-6.1 μm) compared to C. rhodeus (9.0-10.0 μm); 3) pyriform polar capsules, differing from the spherical capsules in C. leshanensis and C. rhodeus; and 4) narrower spore width (7.5-10.0 μm) and smaller polar capsules (2.6-4.0 μm × 1.4-2.7 μm) than those of C. japonensis (11.3-12.5 μm and 4.2-5.0 μm × 2.9-3.8 μm, respectively). Molecular analysis of 18S rDNA revealed the affinity of the new species for C. japonensis and Triangula percae (Ortholineidae). Cardimyxobolus iriomotensis n. sp. appears to be endemic to the southern Ryukyu region, particularly Iriomote-jima Island, with a geographically restricted distribution, at least in Japan. In addition, this study includes taxonomic notes on the genus Triangula.
